Application tiled February 8, 1909.

To all whom it may Be it known that we, son and PAUL R. CAMP, citizensof the United States, residing at Atlanta, in the county ot'Fulton andState of Georgia, have and useful Improvements in of whichthefolconcern:

l/VILLIAM T. Hno- Gandy-Making Machines,

llowing is a specification.

Our inventionhas to do with the making ot stick candy, and is designedmoreparticularly as an improvement upon the candy making machineconstituting the subject matter of the Hudson Letters-Patent No. 910,198of January 19, 1909.

-tne lof the objects of our invention is thev provision, in a machine ofthe kind stated, of means ,for acti-ng on the strip of candy materialafter the same is twisted, with a view of eliminating from the strip theroughness left by the twistcrs.

Fig. 9 is an enlarged detail view showing the manner inwhich the tappet or trip operates to dump each stick-carrier or tray ofthe cooler mechanism.

Similar letters and numerals of reference designate corresponding partsin all of the views otl the drawings,

In carrying our invent-ion into eiect, we prefer to employ twistingmechanism identical with that of the Hudson patent Supra, and shown inFig. 1 hereof in thel same manner that it is illustrated in Fig. 9 otthe patent.. XVe also prefer to employ a spinning board or table A 'forthe candy material, and to arrange between the said board or table andthe twisting means, lettered B, spinners C-z'. c., superposed rollershaving opposed circumferential grooves corresponding in cross-sectionshape and size to the strip o'tl cantly material, which strip is' shownby a heavy line and is lettered l). rl`he twistcrs U of the mechanism Bare move-din the direction indicated by the ar row in'lFig. l by powersuitably applied to one ot the shafts, preferably the shaft'y e, of saidmechanism, and the candy material, which passes 'from the table Si.between the spinners C, is carried by' the twistcrs ll to an idlersupporting roller 1) and while 11/ 11m/fc is twisted. After passing overthe roller D3 the twisted candy strip is carried between suitably. sup/ported rollers- Fi E which have opposed circum't'crential grooves andare adapted te serve the important function of eliminating or ctliacingthe roughness left' by the twisters ll which take positive hold of andcarry the candy strip. After passing between the rollers E and ltl, thestrip ol candy material is carried by a suitably supported guide rollerF arranged opposite and cooperating with the smoothing roller E, to takea course at' a right. angle to its former course and. pass upon a beltl1 which is moved at a irate ott-speed corresponding to that at whichthe strip is moved by the twisters U of mechanism B. The said belt 21passes around a roller 22, located below the rollers E and F, Fig. 7,and said 1roller 22 is fixed on a shaft 23 which is driven from theshaft e of the twisting means through a sprocket wheel 24- on saidrshaftie, a sprocket belt 25, a miter gear 75 on shaft 23, and a shaft7G disposed at a right angle to the shaft 23 and having a miter gear 77,intermeshed with the gear 75 and also having a sprocket Wheel 78connected with the belt 25. The belt 2l passes around and rotates aroller 28 With respect to which is fixed a spur gear 2S). The belt 21carries the strip of candy material to the means, hereinafter described,for severing sections or sticks of the desired length from the strip,and in order to speedily move each section or stick, as cut, away fromthe advancing strip, with a view of precluding rejoining of the adjacentends of the Worm s trip and section or stick, .we einploy thecomparatively fast belt 30.l This belt 30 passes around rollers 31 and32, and is driven faster than the belt 21 through the medium of the spurgear 29 fixed to roller 28,' the smaller spur gear l1 fixed to roller3l, and a spur gear 4:2 arranged between and intermeshed with the gears29 and 4l. From the belt 21 the candy passes over a bridge 40 to thebelt- 30, and while the candy is above said bridge, a stick or sectionis severed from'the strip, after which the stick or-section is moved at`a-comparatively high rate of speed by the belt 30 toward the table G,presently described, and is carried by the momentum it gainsupon thesaid table.

yThe mechanismxfor cutting the candy e., severing the sticks or sectionsfrom the stri is prefarably identical With the cutting mec anism shownin Figs'. 1, 2, 9 and 11 of the aforesaid Hudson patent, and need not,therefore, be described herein except to say that among other elementsit comprises two rotatable bodies 53 and 66 connected by intermeshedspur gears 54 and 68, Fig. G, and that the body 53 is rotatedl from theshaft e' of the twisting mechanism through a sprocket gear 58 on l' theshaft c, a suitably supported horizontal shaft 59 carrying a .sprocketgear 60 and a miter gear Gl, a

sprocket belt 62 connecting the sprocket gears 58 and 60, and a in itergear 68 fixed With respect to the spur gear 54 and the rotatable body 53and lntermeshed with the miter gear 61;

The table G upon which the sticks or sections of candy are impelled fromthe belt 30,

, as before described, 'is arranged parallel to the twisting mechanism Band at a right i angle to said belt 30, and is provided. at g permit astick or section of candy to freely l with an opening'r'of a length andWidth to l drop therethrough, for a purpose hereinafter set forth. Thesaid tablev Gr is suitably supported and held against movement, and isdesigned to coperate with carrier mechanism H in straightening thesticks or sections of candy; the said carrier mechanism H beingarranged. above the table G, 4as best shown in Fig. 8. Thecarriermechanism H preferably comprises suitably supported transverse shafts h,parallel sprocket Wheels 'e'. on each of said shafts, parallel sprocketbelts 7' mounted on the said shafts, and transverse bars /c separated byintervening spaces sufiiciently wide to receive a stick or section ofcandy, each, and disposed between and connected with the belts j. Thelower traverse of the bars c is above and in close proximity to theupper surface of the table G, and the movement of the bars with thebelts y' is so timed that a space between two of the bars Will be in aposition to receive a stick or section of candy as said stick orsectionis impelled, by the belt 30, upon the table G. The carriermechanism H is driven from the shaft e of the twisting mechanism throughthe .sprocket Wheel Zon said shaft, the sprocket belt fm, and thesprocket Wheel n on one shaft 71 and hence it- Will be manifest that thesticks or sectionsof candy received in the spaces between the bars Willbe rolled on the table G before the bars 1, and because of the frictionbetween the sticks and the table, and in that Way Will be -straightenedWith a view olf renderingvthe saine more perfect and marketable. Thedirection of movement of the` sticks or sections of candy before thebars is is toward theopening `g in table Gr, and each stick or sectionof candy as it reaches s aid difiening drops through to the `coolermechanism, hereinafter described. t

Experience. has demonstrated that the sticks or sections of candy areliable to ren-A der the means in front of which -they are rolled sticky,and therefore in order that the.

,carrier mechanism H may be readily cleaned and kept clean and in a highstate of efficiency, We prefer to equip each cross-bar le with a coversuch as best shown in Fig. 2. The said cover I is preferably formed ofnoncorrosive sheet-metal and is preferably of inverted-U-shape incross-section so that when it is placed on its complementary bar /c itssides by tending to spring inwardly Will retain it in. position. Thecovers I of the bars le alone contact With the sticks or sections ofcandy rolled before the bars, and by virtue of the construction justdescribed it will be li'ianifest-that When the covers are renderedsticky by collected candy, the covers may bel readily removed from thebarsand cleaned, and after being cleaned said covers may be as readilyreplaced on the bars.

The before mentioned cooler of our im# provements preferably comprisesfour transverse shafts p, arranged at one end of the eases? cooler,

or section ii'icidental to the carriage thereof,

and is provided at its ends with upwardly extending hangers o 'which areconnected in a pivotal manner with the belts t. We prefer to form thetrays M, for obvious reasons, of sheet-metal, but do not of coursedesire to be understood as confining ourselves to that material. l

Incidental to the operation of our improvements the belts 1f of thecooler are driven in the direction indicated by arrow from the shaft eof the twisting mechanism through a sprocket wheel fu on said shaft e, asprockety belt w, and a'sprocket wheelL a2 on one of the cooler shafts,and the movement of the belts t is so timed that a stick or sections ofcandy will drop through the opening g in table G into each tray M as thesame passes below the Vsaid opening g.

`Then after taking the course indicated by arrows in Fig. 8 2'. c., toand fro longitudinally above the straightening means and longitudinallyto and fro below said straightening means, one of the hangers u of eachtray contacts with a stationary tapwhich serves to ,cant or tilt thetray to such an extent that the stick or section of candy therein isdumped on a belt I., after which the said hanger u rides over and clearsthe tappet or trip N, and the tray to which the hanger belongs resumesits normal pendent position. Attention is here directed to the fact thatthe trays M always `occupy a pendent position when passing around thewheels as well as when passing from one pair of Wheels to another, andhence there is no liability of any oneV of the trays being accidentallydischarged of its contents. The oii'ice of the belt P is to carry thecooled sticks or sections-oii candy to the point at which said sticks orsections are to be boxed, and obviously the said belt may be driven inthe direction indicated byA arrow from the lowermost shaft p of thecooler, through on said shaft, a. pulley a5 fixed onv a pulley a* theadjacent shaft a of the belt P, and a crossed belt a7 connecting saidpulleys at and a".

tt will be readily noted from the foregoing that the longitudinalarrangement of the. stretches ot Ithe cooler belts both below and above'the' straightening mechanism renders the cooler compact and. yetassures each `stick or section of vcandy being carried and transverselylare segregated and kept 4precedent to the discharge 'roughness left onconsiderable distance in the presence of a cooling agent, "preferablyatmospheric air, ot the stick or section from the cooler.. It will alsobe noted that the sticks or sections of candy from contacting with eachother from the time when they are cut from the strip until they arepicked or otherwise removed 'from the belt P, this being` an importantfeature of advantage, inasmuch it precludes any one of the sticks orsections interfering with the proper straightening and cooling ot' anyother.

lt is thought that. the operation of our improvements willbe fullyunderstood trom the following description, and it is therefore deemedunnecessary to reiterate the same.

In conclusion we desire it distinctly understood that while the machineillustrated constitutes the best practical embodiment ot' our inventionof which we are cognizant, we do not confine ourselves to the specificconstruction and relative arrangemei'it of parts nor to the drivingconnections or thc means utilized i'or driving the various workingparts, as various changes in the construction and relative arrangementof parts may be made and the working parts may be driven in many ways,without involving de- )arture from the spirit ot our invention asdefined in the claims appended.
